trains OIL the st. Paul & Duluth collided
near Moose Lake last night, the loco
motive of one dashing into the caboose
of the other, resulting in the burn
ing of caboose and box car
loaded with coal. The engine was
badly damaged and the road so block
AIDED that the passenger train due here
at z o'clock did not arrive till IL this
forenoon. No one was injured. The
cause OF the accident was not known,
but was probably carelessnesS on the
part OF the train men. They are reticent
on the subject.
SAILING OVERLAND.
Tomorrow the steam ferry Odd Fell
low, Capt. Johnson master and owner,
will start on an overland voyage from
Lake Superior to Vermilion Lake via

A MYSTERIOUS CASE
About $3.50 this morning Policem an
Smallette, while patrolling his beat at
the West end, had his attention at
tracted by heartrending shrieks for
''Help!" ''Save mel" coming from out
on the waters of st. Louis bay. He
made his way to the waters
edge and found a small pri-
yate boat chained to pile.

ton of the cries, but found nothing but
small boat overturned and a single oar
floating on the water. He pulled about
for some time, but found no one. The
owner of the overturned boat
knew nothing about his boat
being in use and the officer was the only
one who heard the cries. The voices
came from some distance, and the wind
made them indiStinct. One was sharp,

deeper, like man. Nobody is known
to be missing and the affair is shrouded
in mystery. The impression gains
ground that some assault was being
committed on female, and in the
struggle the boat was overturned and
the william and victim alike were
drowned. The officer went immedi-
ately to as near the scene as he could
judge alone, and nothing but the boat
and oar rewarded an hour or more of
patient searching. The bay will be
searched for the bodies until all hope
of recovery fails.
